Only started happening with latest builds 2002051[67] as far as
i can recollect.

Basically start a few tab's in the browser using File->New->Navigator Tab
or Ctl-T shortuct. Then go to a random  URL, e.g. www.sun.com, then
click any link on that page. Notice the Location bar URL *doesn't change*.

Clicking to another tab, and then back to the tab you were at then updates
the  Location bar with the correct URL.

Can you try with today's build please Pedro (20020517) since i can't
remember it happening yesterday..

R.K, yes it's probably a dup of 145181 since playing around i notice
most tab stuff is really broken. Can#t kill tabs, can't use middle button
to open tabs (with setting activated), etc.. Let's keep this open until the
fix for that is putback and i can verify, then we can close as a dup.

yes.  this is a dup of bug #145181.  The patch attached to that bug fixes this
problem too.
